Offshore Survey Vessels: Ready for Faster Sensors
to home, offers surgical operations and significantly reduces weather risk.Once speed is well established, then the suite of operational efficiencies such as autonomy, power density, platform stability, data transfer rates, etc. will actually matter in a scalable way. It is conceivable that the final solution could be approached from two opposing directions. The first could see a solution derived from existing UxVs, scaling to larger, faster platforms. The second would see high-speed, medium-to-large vessels being designed with autonomous technology as a fundamental operating system. In my mind, the

a dozen well known and much larger firms than ours, with more relevant experience than our company. Our eclectic, multidisciplinary team of designers, writers and illustrators worked seamlessly together to identify the simplest and most effective way to communicate the Coca-Cola brand essence. The final solution elegantly features Coca-Cola’s Dynamic Ribbon Device as seen on millions of cans and bottles around the world. Ten years later our sign still glows brightly on Times Square, and it’s still relevant today as it was the day the lights were turned on. Last year we met at the Maritime

or the construction. This market has clearly contributed to develop the Ekinox subsea enclosure. Our miniature IG-500 sensors are used to provide roll, pitch and heading even in magnetic disturb environments for small sized AUVs and ROVs without increasing the cost or the power consumption of the final solution. We have put a lot of efforts to develop very advanced algorithms that copes with magnetic interferences just for this specific market. In the marine market, the main application for the Ekinox is multi-beam sonars as we offer a full featured, packaged and cost effective solution with the

, Fred. Olsen United and its partners in the project, the “human-free” installation employs strong plastic guide cones that are strapped to the tower flanges before any lifting activity. SeaRoc Ltd, the contractor for the project’s topsides, drew the detailed design and provided the final solution for the 93 meter high tower. The lightweight plastic cones have a number of benefits as they enable easier handling, do not affect coating on the flanges, and also act as weak-links to avoid structural damage to the mast. Fred.
